Scourge: Outbreak is a cover-based, Third-Person Shooter set in the year 2036, where the world’s energy is controlled by the Nogari Corporation. You’ll play as one of four members of Echo Squad, a group of mercenaries working for the Tarn Initiative, whose sole purpose is to bring down the mega corporation. The Tarn Initiative believes Nogari are behind the outbreak of Alien creatures that have been killing humans for the past several years. Your job is to get in, gather the evidence and take down the evil corporation, once and for all. Unfortunately, the dialogue is cheesy, the characters aren’t very interesting and the story ends up doing very little to enhance the experience. If you go into it with low expectations, you won’t mind the weak story as much, but if you were hoping for a deep, well-written story, you should find another game.
I’m not going to go over all of the core gameplay mechanics, because if you’ve played Gears of Wars, Mass Effect or any other cover-based, Third-Person Shooter, you know what to expect with Scourge: Outbreak. Most of the systems work fine, such as taking cover, throwing grenades, aiming down the sights, using melee attacks and of course firing your weapon, but you shouldn’t expect the same kind of polish that you’d find with the games I mentioned earlier. Scourge: Outbreak is definitely worth its $10 price tag when it comes to production values. The graphics aren’t great, the characters are a little stiff to move and the enemy AI could use another year or two in QA testing. Your squadmates work fine most of the time and will get their fair share of kills and revive you when you go down, but the enemy AI is a whole other story.
